DESCRIPTION:2013 Aprilia Scarabeo 200 - The Aprilia Scarabeo has a pretty long history behind it and since its inception (1993) it was constantly upgraded. Today, the 2013 Aprilia Scarabeo 200 is fitted with modern technologies which help it deliver better performances.

At its heart lies a 180.8 cc single cylinder four stroke, four valve DOHC (double overhead cam) unit. The engine puts out a maximum power of 19 HP at 8250 rpm and 17 Nm of torque at 7500 rpm. It is brought to life by an electric starter and its power is sent to the rear wheel through an automatic transmission.

As far as ergonomics are concerned, the 2013 Aprilia Scarabeo 200 is equipped with a useful windshield fixed to the steering head, modern analog-digital instrumentation, a spacious seat and an aluminium luggage rack that provides the perfect surface for fitting a top box.

The result of brilliant intuition by Aprilia, Scarabeo has withstood the test of time by adapting to change and incorporating the latest technology. Over the years Scarabeo has grown in engine size, with new models introduced to satisfy diverging needs.

Deep down, however, Scarabeo remains faithful to the original concept behind its amazing success. In brief, Scarabeo remains a trend-setter. Over 750,000 Scarabeo have been sold since 1993, to tame inner city traffic, dominate urban ring roads and carry their riders with natural elegance and unmistakable style.

“Scarabeo offers the intelligent and cultured scooter rider a new class of urban scooter, combining today’s state-of-the-art technology with a design capable of defying the passage of time.”

That is why the smallest over-50 cc Scarabeo has evolved once more, becoming more compact but without losing any of its unique identity. The new 200 has returned to the design roots of Scarabeo, combining elegance with utility and shunning the superfluous.

The new Scarabeo 200 satisfies all the needs of modern mobility, and adds a generous touch of class and style to the practicality and performance that has always set Scarabeo apart. Typical Italian style once again points the way for others to follow: Scarabeo’s refined build quality simply defies imitation by other scooters. Advanced technology renders Scarabeo unique too.

A generous under-seat storage compartment, large enough to hold an Aprilia jet helmet, leaves the competition struggling. The 200 might be the entry level model to the over-50 cc Scarabeo range, but its deluxe finish and amazing quality to price ratio make it more than unique.
